I went visiting the present exhibitions in Palazzo Strozzi: ‘Americani a Firenze’ and ‘American Dreamers’.I spent nearly 5 hours between the 2 exhibitions, the works on show are of a very high quality. Have a look at the official websites for more information, I was mostly interested in Mandy Geer, whose work was pointed out to me by a kind blogger (who was she unfortunately I do not remember).

Guess what: this lady is a fiber artist who mostly uses fibers in her artwork. Crochet, braids, beads, fabric, stitches: everything is harmoniously employed for these fantastic installations that seem to come from a mythological and dreamy world.

i'm so glad you went!!! Mandy is a lovely generous person, very humble and soft spoken- and her creations are so big and beautiful! And she often includes the community in the creatng. We're lucky to have her here in Seattle.
